☆Moon-Viewing Special Menu☆

The 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar (September 25th this year) is known as *Jūgoya* (the fifteenth night) or the "Harvest Moon" (*Chūshū no Meigetsu*); it is a time when the moon looks particularly beautiful. When celebrating this moon-viewing tradition, people offer items such as taro and dumplings, as well as Japanese pampas grass (*susuki*), to express gratitude for the year's bountiful harvest.

Today's school lunch features "bite-sized *ganmo* and taro simmered in miso" and "*mitarashi dango*."
